Do you remember where you got the fourth spread from the bottom by any chance?

I was looking at buying the Paris apartment book. Do you have it and is it lovely?

So many questions – sorry!

I have the same sort of inspiration books full of ripouts from the past few years – it’s nice to see others who do the same!

Funny how many of us have these books. Mine are binders for crafts, activities, decorating, cooking… in various states of organized (mostly not).
I followed your link to the Paumes site and I am now desperate to buy those books — if only I had the $$!

We shocked a lot of people when we decided to paint our dining room / kitchen (it’s open plan) a very bold, very strong RED. You can see the corner of our dining room here. I don’t regret it at all…

I too, have books like these, although they are spiral bound, and cloth-bound is so much nicer — and I have a tendency to throw them out every so often as my tastes change. I suppose I should keep them just because they are keepable in and of themselves. Of course, now that I am getting older, my tastes are more solidified. Now the issue is not figuring out what I like, but figuring out what my husband and I like together. His tastes are far more bacheloresque than mine. But he won’t even look at the books.

And, we, too, always sit on that fence between living and selling. But I finally pointed out that we have to live before we can sell.

Thank you for sharing — these are lovely to look at.

How funny – I literally started creating a book like this LAST NIGHT! Spooky!

Love what’s in yours!

We’re about to sell our flat and thought that they would tell us to paint it cream (over the pink kitchen, red hall, lime green bathroom and dark blue bedroom!) but all the estate agents just said “leave it” and stil thought we’d get a good price. I LOVE my pink kitchen, you should definitely just do it!
Good luck with choosing colours!

I can’t believe that you have a book like this!! I do too!! I always look at my book and think how cool it is . . . all of the best, inspiring, creative pictures in one place. I also think, if I met someone with a book like this I would DIE to look through it. But alas, no one else has a book like this . . . except for you, and you are on the other side of the world!!!

I know the feeling! We have been in our house 3 years and all I’ve got to show for it is an ‘avocado’ wall in the kitchen…oh, to be more like Mirka Mora and let the kids paint on the walls!!!

Our family always wanted a black and white check tiled kitchen floor. We were renting, so put it off for years until finally doing it- and we LOVED it until we moved a month later!! So don’t wait, decorate just to suit yourselves now. Anyway, I think the happy vibe of a well-loved house would be attractive to future buyers.
